I have been a rubbish blogger. I hang my head in shame for this. But mini fanfare I’m back!
I had a complete rollercoaster of a summer with some major ups and downs. For a while I was in a very bad space feeling lost and unsure of myself, the future and just the meaning of life. But as with everything there does come a light at the end of the tunnel. I knew this from when my relationship ended and I was in a similar state of mind not knowing my way forward, or as my mum puts it ‘You feel like you are walking in treacle’.
The bad – These are the main things why this blog has been pushed down my list of priorities
- My amazing fantastic granddad died in July and this has knocked the whole family for six
- I was quickly running low on money and had no job prospects to look forward to
- I wasn’t sure where my travelling journey was going next and I lost confidence in myself
- Had a tough time dealing with anxiety attacks because of coping with grief and horribleness like that
The good – These are just some of the things that put a smile back on my chops
- I got to have a great girly holiday with my beautiful little sister
- I am living in France and learning to speak the lingo
- I got a job teaching that also came with an apartment so I am feeling more settled and much happier
- My best friend had a baby, I attended my first wedding since mine was cancelled and all the family are closer than ever
I have had a good old life re-evaluation and realised that to be happy I need to make myself happy and by doing the things I love, which is blogging and taking photographs. I know we are a little early to be talking about new year’s resolutions but I have put these two things at the top of my ‘must do more of’ list.
So I have so much to tell you about, so much to fill you in on the NotWedorDead adventure so there might be a lot of back filling that will happen but I hope you understand and enjoy the story!
Cheesy happy ‘life is still awesome’ shot
